Q:
What's up with a recent press report about company X, who has a product Y, experimented on by researcher(s) Z?

A:
Go to http://www.X.com.
If that doesn't work, search for X in a search engine.

Go to PubMed, and search keyword Y.
(Try also http://www.Y.com, where that makes sense.)

Go to PubMed, and search author Z.
(Try also http://www.Z.com, where that makes sense.)

Best way to get the facts.

The Company operates at its new state-of-the-art facility for product development in Kiryat Weizmann, near Rehovot, Israel. It benefits from collaborative research with the Department of Neurobiology at the Weizmann Institute of Science and with physicians at a number of renowned medical centers both in Israel and abroad.
